Re: Suggestion Box

I know you guys don't make money off this site, at least I think you don't. There aren't any ads or anything. But I got an idea on how you guys can cover the costs for keeping it up.

How about you guys open a PD store with some PD swag for sale?

I know you probably can't use the word "Pacers" on merchandise, but maybe you could make t shirts or zip up hoodies with the PD logo, the one that just says "PD". I would totally buy one if you sell XXL sizes.

If you really want some PD swag, you can make a print of the logo

and take it to a shop (Not sure in Indy but Terre haute has a place called McMillans) and they will put anything on a shirt for you. My bro and I have to do this because we wear big and tall sizes and you can't find logo'ed wear for any teams in our size without paying double.

Re: Suggestion Box

I like the new PD myself. Once I get used to it I think it will be much better. My hats off to you guys who make this happen. I know you guys get a lot of flack when something does not go right and a lot of people don't understand the time and effort you guys put into this.

Re: good!

Very nice. Thanks, Hicks. It even notified when a new user registered...and it did load about twenty recent messages. Doesn't tag them with a time so I don't know how recent...then it picked up with the new ones as they occurred.

Re: Suggestion Box

There is a Colts forum called Colts Thunder, at this link http://w11.zetaboards.com/coltsthunder/index/, I consider it the equivalent to Pacers Digest for the Colts. I was thinking it would be a good idea to maybe try and integrate these two sites together. Whether it just be a simple link between the two, or an actual integration. With the change in ownership I think this is as good of time as any to do this.

Re: Suggestion Box

Regarding old threads getting bumped, would the admins consider auto-locking all threads after a certain time? I don't know what would be a reasonable time period, maybe a year?

It seems to me that a "bump" could just as easily be accomplished by posting a new thread linking to the old one. And if someone's ego really demands that their old posts be seen in the new thread, they can always copy it over manually. Or maybe there's some sort of "copy post to new thread" functionality?

It is a newer board so it is relatively small still, but the people are smart and intelligent.

Yeah you got a Colts board, but it is a Pacers site. When people search for Colts forums they aren't going to find Pacers Digest, they are going to find some other board such as Colts Thunder. In my opinion it would be a great opportunity to grow both communities, and create a more interconnected atmosphere between the Colts and Pacers (for fans at least).

As far as the software they us, don't be so stuck up. It isn't like either of these sites created their own forum software.

Re: Suggestion Box

Any chance of getting a "dislike" button? Maybe if enough people hit the dislike button on a certain post, it gets auto deleted or hidden. Maybe if the poster collects enough dislikes, he gets a temporary or permanent vacation? One can only hope...

Re: Suggestion Box

I very briefly added a feature similar to that a few years ago. It was one mod that let you + or - a post, and if the post's total score got too far into the negatives, the post was hidden (where you had to click to read it). It only lasted a day or two because it was anonymous, which was making some posters feel paranoid, and being anonymous also made it easier to be abused.

If there was to be a separate dislike button that put your name next to it whenever you clicked, that'd be a step in the right direction from my previous effort. Personally I could live with that, but from what I recall of my attempt years ago, many people are not comfortable with that so I would be surprised if it has enough support nowadays.

Re: Suggestion Box

Just a good function I apparently haven't noticed on realgm.

The notification button is actually kind of useful to see who has responded to your post or thanked (+1) your post. It also redirects you to the correct page. So my question is do we have anything like that and if not can we get something like that which won't make able go crazy.

Re: Suggestion Box

Not really a suggestion but more of a feedback kind of thing. The new ignore feature of ignoring quoted posts from users on your ignore list is awesome. I currently only have one user on my list and they're banned anyway but this feature would have saved everyone a lot of the frustration of dealing with that poster. This feature must have been designed specifically with that situation in mind.

Re: Suggestion Box

Hey why don't you guys open a trade suggestions thread and sticky on the main page? I think that way any thread suggestion goes there and not only that but it could probably get more traffic than the current trade proposals side.
